JUDGE KELLY, the well-known Pennsyl-
vania Congressman, who has just returned
from Southern tour, expresses surprise and
delight with what he saw. He says:
Everywhere throughout the mineral regions OF

South confined to its mineral REGIONS. Though
the poverty and listnessness which character
lied the poor people Of the South still prevail TO
a considerable extent in her cotton fields, there
is large leaven of enterprise and improvement
which is rapidly curing that The agricultur-
lists of the New South-those who have caught
the spirit OF, progress not longer pillow their
fields with single-mule plows. They have
learned the value of deep blowing They con-
tinue TO grow some cotton. but not upon the

sive agriculturists, the representatives Of the
New South. Instead Of one crop of cotton, they
have fields of wheat, rye, clover and other
crops, and to save their old-tne guano bills, as
they called bills for manufactured fertilizers,
they turn under green crops and aid that with
manure from sleek and well-fed herds Of cattle.
The great boom of the South is near at hand,
and il will not be confined to the mineral
regions of that richest section Of our country,
but will include the agricultural regions as

THE CATTLE INDUSTRY.
Reports from Thirteen States and Terri
tories-The Past Winter Considered
Favorable.
Boston telegram.

The Commercial Bulletin publishes O
special report of the range and ranch cat
tie industry. The reports are furnished
by special correspondents from thirteen
States and Territories, covering the whole
field. The conclusions arrived at indicate
that the early reports of winter losses have
been considerably exaggerated. The only
territory where cattlemen suffered severe
losses was in Montana, where the NOR
tally proves to have been from 10 to 20 per
cent. on the average. The losses In Colora-
do, Western Kansas, and Northern Kansas
were very light the past winter, running
under per cent. of the average. Parts Of
Idaho and Wyoming suffered quite severely,
particularly the northwestern, but the av-
erage losses in the Territories we're not ex-
cessive. Utah, New Mexico and Arizona
were particularly fortunate. New Mexico
correspondents write that the loss does not
exceed per cent. in either of the Terri
tories named. Texas reports some suffer-
ing because of the drought, but the winter
was much more favorable to stockmen than
that of 1886.
On the whole, the conclusion is arrived at
that the past winter was favorable one to
the cattle raising interests of the West,
and that the hide and leather markets will
not feel the effect noticeably of what fallen
hides will come upon the market. From
every section come reports of the encroach-
ments of immigrants upon the grazing
territory, and particularly from Nebraska,
Kansas, and Colorado, where the cattlemen
are being pushed steadily westward. 1t is
the opinion of some of the correspondents
that the cattle raising industry has reached
its height, and several stations report that
il is becoming necessary to raise alfalfa
and grass for feed. The interstate COM
merce law works to the disadvantage of
most sections, but the reports vary on this
point.
without exception as to single State or
Territory, the spring season has opened
we'll, with an abundance of rain and fine
outlook for grass. Csttle-raisers in Mon
tana feel much encouraged ever the out
look, ard feel that the favorable spring
will 90 far to recuperate their losses and

THE INTERSTATE COMMISSION.

MR. TvITcHELL, United States Con ,ul
al Kingston, Canada, i'll letter to the ID part
ment Of State claims that under the interstate
commerce law fre.ghts have increased from
- TO 100 per cent. on lines dong business into
Canada, and that the re ult has been demoral-
izing to American trade.
IN response 10 the request of General
J. c. Black Commissioners of Pensions, on be-
half of the inmate of the National Homes for
Disabled Volunteer Soldiers for half-fare rates
when travelling from one home to another, the
Interstate Commission has made a long writ
ten reply. In presenting the case Gen Black
said this had been the habit of the roads be-
fore the passage of the law. and that the
trunk lines were willing to continue the prac-
tice, but that some other lines wanted to first
have a ruling by the Commission After set
ting forth these facs the opinion says:
The meritorious character Of this application
and the patriotic and humane reasons urged in
support of IL arc iully appreciated and admit
ted. But the Commission is not referred TO any
provision Of the act that authorizes IL 10 make
an order or express an opinion on an ex-parte
application of this nature. In the absence of
such authority, an order or opinion would have
no validity or weight whatever The fourth
section Of the act relating to long and short
hauls is the only one that coniers discretionary
powers upon the Commission 20 make orders
Tor relief in special cases, and then only upon
the application of carriers
The twenty-second section OF the act defines
the cases in the transportation Of property and
persons TO which the net snail not apply, and
ministers OF religion and officers and employees
OF railroads arc the only persons specified. The
statute as enacte must he deemed TO express
the deliberate will of the lawmaking body,
and the commission is powerless TO enlarge or
restrict the scope. Nor can construc-
ton be given 70 il not warranted by
language adopted. The trunk lines, according
to the petition, have taken the responsibility

rates desired does not constitute unjust dis

The commission can not prematurelv impose
any construction upon n carrier however much
some particular construt ton may be desired.

THE WESTERN STATES.

THE fores. fires OF Northern Michi-
gan and Wisconsin are reported as bad as
those of 1871. The villages of Champion and
Michgamme are threatened with destruction,
and the entire population is out fighting the
flames. Marquette dispatch of Friday says:
Forest fires are still raging everywhere and
the smoke is dense. No casualties are re-
ported, but thousands of dollars Of damage
have been done. From all quarters come re-
ports of heavy damages. Owing to the tele-
graph poles being burned, full reports are not
possible. Fully 1900 people are fighting fires
on the peninsula, and repetition of the awful
Peshtigo fire is feared Fires appear TO be
raging everywhere.

glycerine, at Spirit Like, Mimi, was distinctly

IN the village of Lake Linden, Houghton
County, Mich, at noon of Friday, says a dis
patch from Marquette, flames were seen issu-

seized every one. The fire department
was fifteen minutes in reaching the fire after

having made such headway that no agency Of
man could be of any avail. Had the fire
broken out at night hundreds of lives would
have been lost Words fail TO picture the awful
speed with which the flames swept through
the doomed town. Families rushed from
their homes to the street saving only the
clothes on their backs. Hundreds Of families
are roofess, without bedding or clothing ex-
ccpt what they have on. No stores are left to
furnish supplies, and Hancock and Houghton

men in Ohio, and that the latter viii support
John sherman for the Presidential nomina-
ton. Mr. Townsend thinks there will be no
division of sentiment in Ohio this time, that
the friends of Mr.. Blaine there will give a
hearty allegiance TO sherman, and that all the
Republican leaders will work together sim
cerely for the latter's nomination. While
Foster does not love sherman any more than
he ever did, Townsend thinks he will take
hold heartily this time and pull his share of
the load The Foraker sentiment is strong in
Ohio but the young Governor WI abide his
